Well, I hope not, but I am happy to say I have made the 7 year mark, something the gloom and doom Drs. told me would not happen when i was diagnosed 7 years ago, and not able to get Herceptin because I was stage 1...well 1 1/2 years later, as stage IV I got the herceptin, am still getting it, and I believe a big part of why I am still here & fighting.....although much of the credit needs to go to this wonderful group...who always keeps me focused, picks me up when I am down, and can make me laugh when I have nothing to laugh about... Thank You
YOU ARE ALL THE BEST MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey SheilaGirl
Congratulations to you !!! I don't think it is because of Herceptin ... I think it's the banana on your head and having two husbands who were born on the same day ..... :) Keep on keeping on Sheila, we all love you!!!!

Sheila-

you're living proof that statistics are just a numbers game. You are obviously winning!!! Now lets try for lucky 21... I bet you can do it... After that we'll have to find you another numbers game to play. Congratulations!!!

Hi Sheila,

Thank you for the update and it is great to hear from you.

Wow, you are an inspiration and symbolic of many of the people on this board. I know that I have learned so much from you over the years. You lead by example and if true character is exhibited during times of stress - well you passed that test with flying colors.

To me you are an example of intelligence, perseverance, hope, beauty and strength. Keep on keeping on....

Love, Hope, Peace - Carolyn

Hi Sheila,

I see posts here from those newly diagnosed with or without mets who don't know what to think about the future, but from one 7-year-out to another, your post made me grin from ear to ear.

Much love,

A.A.
